Secretary Zhang hurried over to Lin Yun and bowed deeply, saying,
"Young Master! I sincerely apologize for being late; the traffic was terrible."
Gasp!
Everyone present was dumbfounded upon witnessing this scene!
Especially Fei Fei and Young Master Wu, who both stared wide-eyed in shock.
What was going on? Secretary Zhang actually bowed to Lin Yun? And even addressed him as Young Master?
At this moment, Secretary Zhang turned with a stern expression and said,
"General Manager Wu, this is the new Chairman. Why are you all standing there? Hurry up and pay your respects!"
"What? He... he's the new Chairman?" General Manager Wu Dayong's face turned ashen in an instant.
"He's really the Chairman?!"
All the employees present were utterly stunned.
Young Master Wu widened his eyes in disbelief, as if he had been struck by lightning.
However, the one with the ugliest expression was Fei Fei.
"No! This is impossible! He's just a poor kid. I know his family situation very well! There's no way he could be the new Chairman!" Fei Fei shrieked.
General Manager Wu Dayong added, "Secretary Zhang, are you mistaken? Look at his clothes; he doesn't look like a Chairman at all."
"General Manager Wu, here are the official appointment documents. See for yourself. If you still don't believe it, you can call Chairman Liu to confirm."
Secretary Zhang handed the documents to Wu Dayong.
Wu Dayong scrutinized them carefully. The identity details and photograph confirmed that it was indeed Lin Yun.
Secretary Zhang continued,
"Additionally, let me be frank with you all—Young Master Lin Yun is the biological grandson of Chairman Liu Zhizhong!"
"What? Chairman Liu's... biological grandson?!"
This revelation struck the crowd like a bombshell, shaking them to their core.
Chairman Liu Zhizhong's biological grandson—what did that mean?
"Chairman Liu's biological grandson? My God!"
Young Master Wu was so terrified that his legs gave out beneath him, his face turning deathly pale as his heart spasmed in panic.
He couldn't begin to fathom the consequences of having stolen the girlfriend of Chairman Liu's biological grandson...
"No way... This can't be true!"
Fei Fei stared at Lin Yun in disbelief, her expression one of utter bewilderment. She refused to accept this reality!
At this moment, General Manager Wu Dayong hurried over to Lin Yun with a flattering smile.
"Chairman Lin! I didn't recognize you earlier; please forgive me!"
Wu Dayong knew that Secretary Zhang was one of Chairman Liu's closest confidants, and there was no way he would joke about something as significant as a biological grandson!
Lin Yun ignored Wu Dayong and instead turned to face the employees.
The over one hundred employees present all lowered their heads in silence, trembling with fear. Earlier, when Lin Yun claimed to be the new Chairman, they had mocked him. Now, they were terrified!
After all, he was not just the new Chairman—he was also Chairman Liu's biological grandson!
Feeling the awe and reverence from the crowd, Lin Yun was filled with emotion. Had anyone ever respected him before? Absolutely not!
Lin Yun scanned the crowd and finally fixed his gaze on Young Master Wu.
Seeing Lin Yun approaching, Young Master Wu broke out in cold sweat, his heart pounding in terror. He knew Lin Yun had come to settle the score!
"Young Master Lin!"
As soon as Lin Yun stood before him, Young Master Wu suddenly clung to Lin Yun's leg, pleading desperately.
"Young Master Lin! I was wrong! I shouldn't have taken your girlfriend. I apologize! I'll give Fei Fei back to you—please, just spare me!"
Faced with Lin Yun's shocking identity as Chairman Liu's biological grandson, Young Master Wu couldn't even think of any response other than begging for mercy.
Looking at Young Master Wu groveling before him, Lin Yun couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Having wealth and power was truly a game-changer. Just yesterday, Young Master Wu had been arrogant and overbearing in front of him. Today, he was on his knees, pleading for forgiveness.
This was something Lin Yun had never even dared to dream of!
"Give her back to me? Sorry, but I don't need such a shameless woman! Besides, do you really think I'll let you off?" Lin Yun narrowed his eyes.
With that, Lin Yun kicked Young Master Wu aside.
Falling to the ground, Young Master Wu clenched his teeth but swallowed his resentment, knowing Lin Yun's status left him no room for retaliation.
"Chairman! My... my son is just a reckless young man. If he has offended you in any way, please be magnanimous and forgive him," Wu Dayong stepped forward to plead on his son's behalf.
Lin Yun shot Wu Dayong a cold glare. "You have the audacity to beg for him? A father is responsible for his son's upbringing. His arrogance is largely due to your indulgence."
Then, Lin Yun declared loudly,
"As the new Chairman, I hereby announce: you and your son are both dismissed from Huading Group, effective immediately. You will never be rehired!"
"What? Dismissed?!"
Wu Dayong's face turned ashen.
He had worked tirelessly for years to reach the position of General Manager. If he were dismissed now, all his efforts would go to waste!
Although Wu Dayong wanted to protest, he swallowed his words upon remembering Lin Yun's status as Chairman Liu's biological grandson.
Young Master Wu was utterly devastated. He had lived a privileged life solely because of his father. If his father lost his position, he would no longer be a wealthy heir. How could he survive then?
It felt like he had fallen from heaven straight into hell!
"Security! Remove the Wu father and son from the premises!" Lin Yun ordered.
The security guards hesitated momentarily, as Wu Dayong had always been a high-ranking figure in the company.
Lin Yun frowned. "What? Do you not understand my words? Or do you think I don't hold enough authority?"
"No, no, no!" the security guards responded hastily.
Realizing Lin Yun had Chairman Liu's backing, they dispelled any doubts.
Now emboldened, the security guards promptly grabbed Wu Dayong and Young Master Wu.
"Bastards! Let me go! I'm Young Master Wu! How dare you touch me?!" Young Master Wu roared.
A security guard sneered. "Young Master Wu? You're no longer anyone important! You're nothing now!"
The guards promptly dragged the father and son out.
The employees secretly rejoiced. Young Master Wu had been a tyrant, bullying both men and women. Seeing him fall was immensely satisfying.
Lin Yun then approached Fei Fei.
The matter between them needed to be settled once and for all.
Fei Fei was deathly pale. She had chosen Young Master Wu for his money and status, but now he was ruined. Meanwhile, the man she had just dumped had become the Chairman!
Fei Fei trembled. "Lin Yun, you were poor! How could you be Chairman Liu's grandson?!"
She regretted it deeply. If she had known, she would never have broken up with Lin Yun!
Lin Yun smirked. "Yes, life is full of surprises!"
Fei Fei bit her lip. "Lin Yun, I was deceived by Young Master Wu. Please, give me another chance!"
Lin Yun pushed her away. "Sorry, you're not worthy."
With that, he turned and left, leaving Fei Fei in despair.
Lin Yun then turned to Vice President Liu Bo.
Liu Bo trembled, "Young Master Lin, I wasn't on Wu Dayong's side!"
Lin Yun smiled. "Relax, I'm promoting you to General Manager."
"Really?!" Liu Bo was overjoyed.
"Yes. Do well, and I'll promote you further."
"Thank you, Chairman! I will devote myself entirely!" Liu Bo vowed.
